Kia Kue Concept

Kia is taking the crossover SUV segment a step further.

Kia is taking the crossover SUV segment a step further. Regarding their new Kue Concept, Kia officials stated it "focuses more on giving the driver an exhilarating driving experience on the way to the home improvement center than on how much it can haul." Big fat tires riding on 22-in. wheels lend even more credence to the Kue's performance-over-utility focus. Despite its sporty bent, Kia claims the Kue does possess some SUV characteristics and capabilities; we just don't know which ones yet. But its 114-in. wheelbase and 186-in. overall length put it very close in size to the reigning performance crossover king, the Infiniti FX45. While the low-slung Kue is being called "purely a concept" by Kia, execs admit it gives strong hints to the future styling direction of the Korean manufacturer.
